A mere 24 kilometres from the outskirts of Vienna you can still breathe the air of the Habsburg Monarchy. Eckartsau Palace is situated right in an idyllic, natural countryside.

You’re on Slovakian soil when you visit the imposing ruins of Devín Castle, majestically enthroned on a high rock over the confluence of the Danube and the Morava, almost as if aware that it is one of the most important archaeological sites in Central Europe.
